Read this thread - ultimate RB "pull hard" setup, make numbers in the range of GT35R peak power but spooling similar to the smaller GT30 range turbos:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/426059-forced-performance-hta-turbos/

+1 for lithiums post. HTA turbos are weapons and will give you the best of both worlds. Will give you 400rwkw and the same response as a gt3076.

You'd be mad not to have a look basically

I disagree with both these clowns :ph34r:

LOL kidden, HTA or GTFO!

Was just trying to be helpful, was Garrett based and a lot of people don't know there is a bigger world than Garrett who have been all but left in the dust. But point noted, I have meant to have given up on trying to be "helpful" on these forums - just got a brief burst of enthusiasm for this place after finally actually meeting some SAUers... as you were :action-smiley-069:

Asks about Garrett offerings, gets advice on every other manufacturer but... :P

Well technically Garrett make the turbos with the HTA wheel :P So sort of got it...

Hhahah

I get the same thing.

Left in the dust is a little excessive, I love my GTX and the results are excellent imo. Keep your HTA fanboi speeches for the impressionable boys in the FP thread. Considering you all talk about them continuously I would find it hard to believe someone hasn't heard of FP, Precision or BW for that matter.

I think Garrett is still king of reliability in most peoples minds... for good reason. If that means they are a little slower in their design rollouts and test their turbo's for longer, I am all for it. I have a Precision 6766 on the bench at the moment, not sure I like how thin the compressor blades are. Hopefully they haven't gone too light weight just to beat the competition...

No need to sook about being 'helpful on these forums', everyone else is here for the same reason. If you don't like people having opinions that differ to yours, better stay off the interwebz.

Hi all

I read some comments here and it looks like people prefer GT30 for around 290-320rwkw power. GT30 will come on boost harder in the mid range. It looks like a more efficient option on paper.

One thing I don't understand is why would someone want harder pull in the mid range when it will create more problems with traction unless are on 3rd gear. I have rb25 with GT35 312rwkw and I have problems with traction on 2nd with 265s and shimmed diff. I've driven similar car but with a smaller turbo and it had even less traction.

Correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm new to this. If I floor it at ~3000rpm it will pull hard almost instantly and easily break the traction on a smaller GT30 turbo compared to GT35 which pulls from ~4500+ but has smoother transition from no boost to full boost.

I have read many threads about this but not many people are looking at it from this angle

Cheers

You'll find your traction control switch at the end of your right leg; when traction starts to break, lift right leg slightly.

Also on most good ECU's you can do boost by gear and just have less boost in 1st and 2nd.

No reason you can't just lift off slightly though...

Maybe of interest, I found this helped with controlling boost on my car:

http://www.gktech.com/index.php/v2-s14a-s15-eccentric-throttle-wheel.html

It will work fine on an RB25DET. The standard wheel opened the throttle quite a lot with little pedal movement, where as the GKTECH one is the opposite, ie a smooth logarithmic opening of the throttle, where 50% pedal may only be 30% throttle opening. (not sure about exact numbers)

Its good for peaky responsive turbos.

the best action ive had was with a GTX3076, 4000rpm's = Hammer time, 1st and 2nd at WOT =Black lines layed for 50meters which is f#$k yeah feeling.. 3rd= hold on

If you can do this then you know you got a wild ride, the rest is up to you and the tyres, suspension and right foot control, but personally this has set the bar for me... and now disappointed with anything less :(

Go with the Gt35. They are the bomb diggity.

They also have plastic cage bearings afaik, where as the GTX has steel cage. Hence the reason the old diesel designed GT35's have a higher failure rate. It's one of the Garrett turbos I wouldn't recommend.

Go with the GTX3076 imo for a similar power figure and quicker spool.

not wrong here. The GTX3076 is awsome fun. i love it!

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
